Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory – Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant

ABBEY: We're supposed to have dinner at another location, but since our hunger requires some big servings we headed to Chir Chir at their branch on 313 Somerset. This is to celebrate the anniversary of our blogsite.


We're lucky enough not to wait in queue and got a table within seconds; because the queue got long a few minutes after we came.
Most of the menu items are for sharing. So better go there with a tag-along. We ordered garlicky chicken and Chir Chir Mi Chir. They said it is for two, but actually it can be for 3 :)

The chicken is crispy and sweet on the outside and moist on the inside. It is mild spicy as well. You can eat this without any rice, pasta, pizza. Just eat it alone. 

The Chir Chir Mi Chir fried chicken tenders were soaked on creamy pasta sauce. It was delicious. We finished the paste and sauce to the last drop.








WILL: Chir Chir is the newest sensation in town. The queue is horribly long and it is very good that  we arrived early. 


They do not have an individual meal so we ordered first 2 sets of food... for sharing. I am expecting that they will serve us a small portion but I am wrong. We were shocked by the size of their servings. It's huge. 

I love their Chir Chir Mi Chir  the sauce is amazingly delicious and creamy. Their Garlicky Chicken is quite spicy but the flavour is just at the skin, the meat is quite bland. 

The price is pretty expensive to battle with many Korean Chicken that is serving a single meal.

Chicken Up - Korean / Chicken Restaurant

ABBEY: First things first, this restaurant is only open after office hours; so no breakfast or lunch being served. We learned this the hard way. Not checking their operating hours, we headed to have lunch after our physical exam. Lo and behold, they're close. 

Second, be there early else you have to queue. No reservations. Chicken Up is located at 48 Tanjong Pagar Road and they are serving Korean cuisine. As the name itself, they focus on poultry. They have their chicken buffet for only S$25. 

We tried fried Soya chicken wings. This is very flavorful, delicious and finger-lickin' good. I enjoyed eating this with a cup of hot white rice. We also tried the normal fried chicken and hot ones. They look exactly the same. But once you take bite, then you'll be looking for water if you pick the spicy piece. This is also the case with their chicken stew. 

The glass noodles item is recommended. It is like Pinoy sotanghon but with thicker soy sauce-based sauce and more mushrooms. Each main item would start at less than 15sgd only. I also recommend their watrmelon juice.








WILL: We always wanted to dine at Chicken Up but we didn't get a good chance. I am so glad that Ford's farewell party was held there. 

They do not accept reservations but luckily Mondays are my husband's off. I begged him to queue for us. We arrived minutes before the clock strikes 6pm. 

We ordered for the flavors of soya, spicy up, yangnyum and andong chicken stew. Yangnyum stands out. Its sauce makes a difference; sweet yet have some spike of spiciness. Do not get deceived of Spicy Up, it looks the natural fried chicken but it will surely kick your butt. Haha! We almost forgot to taste the Japchae. The noodles are chewy. Very Korean. 

Instead of ordering soda, we got the Chicken Up's famous Watermelon Soju (a watermelon juice mixed with popular distilled drink of Korea). Sweet and have some hint of alcohol. Do not drink too much. Ok? 

The prices of this chicken is really expensive. If you want to get the value of your money go for chicken buffet $25 but only for 2 hours. :) 

See you next time Chicken Up.
